Council approves first reading of Technology Drive office‑warehouse plan

Jeffersontown’s council voted to approve the first reading of a resolution transmitting a detailed district development plan for a proposed office‑warehouse on Technology Drive. The council moved the item forward after a staff presentation and a brief clarification about adjacent properties.

The presenter, identified in the meeting as Mr. Russi, told the council the proposal is for an 11,900‑square‑foot building with about 3,900 square feet of office space and 8,000 square feet of warehouse use on a lot just over one acre. The plan includes 19 parking spaces, requests no waivers or variances and, according to the presenter, meets the town’s Land Development Code.

The resolution transmitting the plan was sent to the council from the Louisville Metro Planning Commission and the development review committee had recommended approval, the presenter said. Council members asked one question about whether a nearby daycare was on the same parcel; the presenter clarified the daycare was at a different campus and that a separate daycare building elsewhere is being rebuilt.

After the presentation, with no further questions, a motion for passage of the first reading was offered and seconded and the council voted in favor. The first reading advances the item to the next step in the local review process; any final adoption would require return recommendations from Metro Planning and subsequent local ordinance readings.

The council did not record a roll‑call vote count in the transcript; the presiding officer announced the motion carried.
